Activate the Parasympathetic System : Embrace Wellness with The Glow Effect

The Glow Effect exercises, breathwork, and grounding movements help activate the parasympathetic system— gently signaling the body:

“You’re safe now. You can heal. You can let go.”

What Is the Parasympathetic Nervous System? (In Simple, Practical Terms)

The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is the part of your body’s automatic control system that helps you:

• Relax

• Digest

• Heal

• And restore balance

It’s often called the “rest and digest” system — because it kicks in when your body is calm and safe, allowing energy to go toward:

• Repairing tissues

• Digesting food

• Releasing toxins

• Balancing hormones

It works in gentle opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, which is your “fight or flight” mode — the one that gets triggered during stress, danger, or high energy output.

🌿 In Daily Life:

When your parasympathetic system is active, you might feel:

• Your breath slows

• Your muscles soften

• Your mind becomes clearer

• Your digestion improves

• Your heart rate steadies

• Your body feels safe and supported

✨ In Energy Work Like The Glow Effect:

Your exercises, breathwork, and grounding movements help activate the parasympathetic system — gently signaling the body:

“You’re safe now. You can heal. You can let go.”

This is why many people feel emotional releases, deep rest, or soft detox reactions after your sessions. Their nervous system is shifting into recovery mode — and that’s a very good thing.

🧘‍♀️ Easy Analogy:

Think of the parasympathetic system as your body’s “healing switch.”

You can’t flip it with force — but with calm movement, deep breath, and trust… it turns on, quietly doing its magic.
